xx Piano Pieces in the movie "The Pianist"
August 29, 2011, 05:09:05 PM by faa2010

Some piano pieces which appeared in "The Pianist" of Roman Polanski doesn't appear in the soundtrack of the movie.

Do you know the name of the pieces which were played when:

- Szpilman was playing in the restaurant of the ghetto?

- he was hiding in a flat and the piano was played by the woman of the other flat?

xx Analyzing Raindrop Prelude
July 25, 2011, 01:23:54 AM by allthumbspiano

I'm learning Chopin's Raindrop Prelude and am trying to learn some theory at the same time.  I have three questions so far about it, if someone could help that would be great.  In measures 9-10 is he modulating from Db Major to Gb Major?  That is what it looks like to me.  I'm writing down the roman numerals for the chords, should I make the Gb the new I chord because of the modulation or should I continue writing the chords as if it didn't modulate (making Gb a IV chord)?  I can't figure out the chords on beats 3&4 of measure 12, I'm not sure if they are considered chords or something else as I'm new to this theory stuff, any idea?  Same thing in measure 16.

xx Chopin - "raindrop"
June 26, 2011, 10:58:27 PM by rmbarbosa

In Chopin prelude op.28 no 15 (Raindrop), sheet music from pianostreet puts 1 - 2 over the A at the first bar and, at the second bar 5 - 3 over the C. Also, at 3º bar, 5 -4 over F and G.
It seems it is intended to play the chords (EGC - DFE - CGE, etc, with the right hand. However, there`s a musical phrase made by the upper notes and the inferior notes of these chords are "linked" to the notes played by the left hand.
I saw Valentina Igoshima playing this prelude and it seems to me that she plays the melody with RH and all the other notes with LH. And tjis seems to me more logical.
So, I`m confused and ask for your help. How to play correctly these bars?
Thanks.
Rui

xx Chopin Prelude op.28-15 (raindrop)
March 07, 2011, 09:23:31 PM by japie

Hello everyone!

I have a short question about de playing of this piece. (or accually about the playing of chopins music at all)
Can the Sostenuto pedal be of good use in certain passages of chopin?

This question came to me when I suddenly just did it when playing the Sotto Voce part of this prelude and I never really thought of it.. (im using it on the left hand) I know chopin himself never heard of the Sostenuto Pedal but on the other hand the sound of piano's itself chanced aswell.

I would very much like to hear some opinions!

Jacob

xx Chopin: "Raindrop" Prelude Op 28 no 15
February 22, 2011, 07:14:26 PM by lelle

So I'm playing a couple of technically "less challenging" works to work on interpretation. I have to say this is one of the more difficult pieces I have played! 

I'd like some feedback what you think of my playing Smiley

xx Chopin Prelude "Raindrop" VIDEO and this time on a real piano. :P
December 04, 2010, 12:44:50 AM by solstyce

Ok, I played it on my 1908 Blasius and Sons. I LOVE IT SO MUCH. It sounds way better than my previous video. Keyboards stink. Anyway, heres the link.

xx Chopin Prelude #15 in D Flat Op. 28 "Raindrop"
November 02, 2010, 11:47:53 PM by solstyce

Ok, I know, real pianos are prefered, so I will probly upload this song again from my old Blasius. After listening to this again, I think I played it way to fast and with little expression, so its not the way I play it when its not being recorded. I guess I was nervous. :/

xx Chopin Prelude 15 - fingers!
May 20, 2010, 12:24:03 AM by dss62467

I just started learning Prelude 15 last night and there's a chord in the 9th measure that is not meant for hands my size.

D flat - C - F.    Is it acceptable to play the F with my right thumb while I play the F with my right hand?  My version has it as a rolled chord, but still, that's a stretch for me.   I don't want to spend the week practicing it that way and have my teacher say "nope".

xx Chopin - Prelude #15 in Db Major (Raindrop)
December 23, 2008, 11:47:14 PM by tetmin

This is my first post here, would appreciate your opinion...

Recorded yesterday and it's not perfect, the bit where the ff left hand chord drowns out the raindrop note during in the middle section is not ideal, and there are one or two tiny flubs. Comments and suggestions would be hugely appreciated since I've not really had anyone with a discerning ear ever listen to my playing. Don't worry about being overly critical, I want to get this nailed down before I move polish something else.

Cheers

Dr. Robert J Keane, pianist

"I was in Poland the past summer to give 2 concerts. At the last minute they requested some Chopin, which I had not brought with me. So, I google-searched for classical downloads and found your site. I was able to print out excellent editions of the pieces I needed within minutes. To find the scores locally would have been inpossible as it was a smaller town, the nearest music store 45 minutes away."

"Piano Street has been a wonderful tool to me as both a pianist and a piano teacher. I can browse the collection for pieces I want to play and/or have my students play. The difficulty rating system that Piano Street uses enables me to search by difficulty level for pieces at my students' various playing levels. It is helpful that many of the scores include an audio clip of the piece being played. I have recommended to my advanced students that they also join Piano Street since getting sheet music from there is a much less expensive alternative to ordering and paying for the music.
